Destiny: The Taken King Guide - How to Get Boolean Gemini Exotic Scout Rifle

We've covered guides on how to get a number of Exotic weapons in Destiny: The Taken King, including the three Exotic Swords and Black Spindle. In this guide, you'll learn how to get Boolean Gemini, an Exotic Scout Rifle.

Like other Exotic weapons you acquire through quests, Boolean Gemini is a 290 Attack weapon that serves as Year Two's better Scout Rifles. It's a good replacement for Vision of Confluence and MIDA Multi-tool. 

Dealing in kinetic damage, the weapon offers high impact and range, making it perfect for taking down sniper enemies from a distance and staggering them so they can't return fire. The weapon also offers a speed increase after you perform critical kills. 

It's one of the easier weapons to obtain in The Taken King, and requires you to complete a small series of quests and achieve rank 3 with the Queen's Wrath faction. When that's done, Petra Vanj on the Reef will give it to you. 

Here are the steps.

The Taken War: Petra

When you've finished the main story, head to the Reef and speak with the characters there. This quest will award you with reputation for Queen's Wrath and House of Judgment. 

1. Talk to both Variks and Petra

2. Complete "Taken Assault: Earth," which requires you to go to Cosmodrome on Patrol and kill two Taken Champions, while gathering resources along the way. You'll get these resources from killing both Taken and Fallen enemies. Find out where you can find the Taken Champions in this guide.

3. Return to both Variks and Petra and pick up the next part of the quest chain: "Taken Assault: Venus."

4. Repeat what you did on Earth by killing Fallen and Taken, and two Taken Champions. It doesn't matter which ones.

5. Return to Variks and Petra again and get "Taken Assault: Mars." 

6. Same as before, kill two Taken Champions on Mars and gather resources.

Lost and Found

This is the next quest in the chain, which you'll unlock once you complete The Taken War: Petra as well as Dreadnaught Patrol. If you've yet to gain access to that area, you'll need to complete the Dread Patrol story mission. 

Petra wants you to go to the Dreadnaught and kill things for her in various locations and engage in some public events. This leg of the questchain will give you Queen's Wrath reputation.

1. Scour the Dreadnaught. Kill 50 enemies in each of the following Dreadnaught locations: Hull Breach, Mausoleum, Hall of Souls.

2. Search the Court. This is the fun part. Trigger Court of Oryx battles and win them until you receive a Tech Witch's brooch. You'll need some Reciprocal Runes for this.  

3. Return to Petra.

The Wolves of Mars

You can do this quest as soon as you complete The Taken War: Petra. You'll get House of Judgment reputation and two armor upgrades for completing it. Speak to Variks to begin the quest. 

1. Thin the Pack. Kill 300 Fallen enemies at each of these locations: Earth, Moon, Venus. Killing Majors and Ultras will reward you with more credit.

2. Hunt the Archon. You'll need to hunt down and slay an Archon Priest located in the Rubicon Wastes on Mars. Finding him isn't too difficult. From the Mars Patrol spawn area, go towards the Scablands and take a right to pass through a walled area and onto Firebase Rubicon. Go through a large tunnel and once you emerge in the Wastes, face the gate to the Iron Line. You'll be able to see Interceptors to your right. Head left and continue until you reach a small circular structure. Walk around it until you find Fallen troops. Kill them until the Archon Priest arrives.

3. Return to Variks.

4. A New Den. This leg of the questchain opens up a new story mission on Mars. Complete it.

5. Return to Variks again.

6. Knock Knock. Here, you'll undertake yet another story mission, this time to kill a Walker. Use an Interceptor to make your job easy.

7. Return to Variks yet again.

8. Prime's Path. This is the final story mission in this series of quests. You'll have to put an end to the Fallen menace on Mars and dispatch Orbiks Prime. 

9. Speak to Variks for one last time.

Reach rank three with the Queen's Wrath faction

If you aren't already rank three, there's a few ways to raise it. You can complete bounties for Petra, and do story missions from House of Wolves to get your reputation with the Queen's Wrath up. If you skipped the two previous expansions, you can pick up the House of Wolves missions by visiting the Abandoned Quests kiosk in the Tower. 

Enjoy your Scout Rifle!
